Re: Should God be slanged or kept to oneself?
There is nothing that you will accept as evidence for a god.
He probably would accept the same as I would, namely evidence. Please provide some so we can consider whether in fact it is evidence or not.
Facts don't lie or have an agenda. Facts are just facts "God did it" is not an argument. It is an excuse for intellectual laziness.

So no evidence? Color me surprised.

Re: Should God be slanged or kept to oneself?
Is it rational to believe that fire is caused by an invisible gas? I think that it is Phlogiston. I don't care what [derision] scientists[/derision] say.

Re: Evidence
Sometimes small miracles still do happen. Would you consider this evidence? A Russian woman was about to be clubbed over the head by a KGB officer assigned to break up Christian meetings in the USSR, and prayed that God would forgive the young man who was about to club her. At that moment the man's arm was miraculously prevented from bringing the club down on her head and although he hated her for praying for him he fled in fear because of being prevented from hitting her. This is reported in a book called The Persecutor about that young Russian's life. He became a believer starting with that incident although it took a while. He defected to Canada in the early 70s, where the KGB eventually caught up with him and murdered him. Would you believe that testimony or not? The book is probably still available.
Anecdotes are not evidence. Nothing here is miraculous. Also, this book has been shown to not be real accurate. In actuality it looks like most of it it plainly untrue. Forgive me, Natasha and Sergei! – Russian History Blog

Re: Evidence
I don't know about the book about "Natasha," I'm talking about a book called "The Persecutor."
Are you really that incurious? Totally incapable of even the most basic research or ability to read the links?
quote:
The Persecutor, also known as Forgive Me Natasha and less commonly as Sergei, is the autobiography of Sergei Kourdakov,
The Persecutor That it was the same author should have been something of a hint for you.
OK, you prefer to believe the debunkery, fine, you've made your choice. That's what everybody here does. Give the story of a Christian hero, what you get back here is "evidence" that the person was really a rotten human being. THAT you'll believe. Stories ARE the evidence we're given. You believe them or you don't. You will apparently always choose the people who discredit the stories, that's what you do. They're just stories too, you know, by people with an axe to grind as well and your method of proof is belief, just as it is for Christians. If research does not support the claims it would be stupid to believe the stories. That would define delusion.

Still no evidence. Just you throwing shit against the wall to see if it sticks.

Re: Evidence
REPENT AND BELIEVE THE GOSPEL AND YOU SHALL BE SAVED. I believe there are internet forums for preaching. This isn't one of them. I reject your concept of a god totally and completely. If your god existed I would tell him to fuck himself for all of the misery he has caused. Now go to church if you want to preach.

Re: The apologists defense of the literalist faith
I think a lot of us atheists have similar stories of our experiences with theists and particularly fundies. We see it here at EVC all the time. Phat does not see it but he is no different than all the other fundies. Not only are fundies math challenged, but evidently their beliefs strip away self-awareness.

Re: Not A Chance
No different than most other religious mumbo-jumbo. Word salad that actually means nothing but seems to have a soporific effect on the rubes.

Re: Main Assertion: God is an uncaused first cause and was never made.
No one knows. There are some ideas and hypotheses but no one knows. Just because no one knows does not mean godidit.

Maybe. Do you have a point?

Re: The Evidence Is The Believers Themselves
Do you have any ideas of your own? Maybe actually use this forum it was was meant to be used. Type your ideas or summarize others ideas that you agree with. This presenting ideas via video is worthless. Why would we want to listen to preacher spew tautologies, word salad and utter crap? I did not listen to this joker, but if he is a preacher that is all he has to say. Edited by Theodoric, : No reason given.
